George is the founder of MyoMinds, he is a PhD candidate at the University of Worcester, and a Research Associate at the University of Exeter. George’s work focuses on men’s experiences of eating, exercise, and body image concerns.
In this episode, we’re joined by George from MyoMinds to unpack toxic masculinity and misogyny in schools. What it looks like day to day, why it shows up, and the impact it can have on boys, girls, and school culture. We talk through the warning signs, how these attitudes can affect mental health, relationships, and behaviour, and practical ways schools can tackle it without shaming boys. Expect clear, real-world strategies, language that helps, and hopeful next steps for building safer, healthier masculinity.

In this episode, Becky Stone and I explore ADHD and decision fatigue, why everyday choices can feel disproportionately exhausting, and how this links to executive functioning, overwhelm, and the mental load of constant “micro-decisions.” We’ll unpack what decision fatigue can look like for children, teens, and adults with ADHD, including procrastination, shutdown, irritability, perfectionism, and the feeling of being “stuck” even when the decision seems small.
